Joey Fatone Says 'Bye, Bye, Bye' to Florida Pool & Paradise
Pool and Patio Property of the Week
Or, maybe the name of that tune should be "Buy, Buy, Buy."
For an asking price of $5,900,000, the 12,400 square-foot, gated 4.36-acre lakefront estate in the "Millionaires' Row" region of Orlando, Florida, can be yours. While the home's interior features -- including a majestic 3,800-square-foot master wing -- aren't too shabby, it's the property's outdoor amenities that really set Fatone's castle apart from the rest. 
Check out this $1M+ resort-style swimming pool compound, which looks to have a kiddie pool and sand area, lots of cool bridges, and a steamy cave / grotto hot tub area. Oh -- did I mention there's also a boat ramp with boat house, a 10-car garage, several patio areas, and a large outdoor kitchen with a swank bar / dining area? Let's all pool our resources for this one!
Fatone, a member of the former boy band *NSYNC, appeared in the film My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding, on Broadway in Rent and Little Shop of Horrors, and hosted the short-lived game show, The Singing Bee. Fatone is married to high school sweetheart Kelly Reynolds. The couple has a daughter, Briahna.
The versatile Fatone was caught in November 2008 by the roving lens of Buck Wolf, About.com's Guide to Weird News, as the singer christened the grand opening of a Times Square public restroom as Charmin's honorary "King of the Throne."
